Important week for national tennis, as the Peruvian team will return to the courts to face Bosnia and Herzegovina for the World Group I series of the Davis Cup 2021. The meetings will be held at the Lawn Tennis of the Exposition, in Jesús María.
Both teams are already training, even in a double shift, on the clay court for what will be the crucial key. The series will be played in two days, on Friday 17 and Saturday 18, to define which team is still in the race for the 2022 qualifiers.
The Peruvian team, led by Américo ‘Tupi’ Venero, will seek to continue on a roll after beating Switzerland in a historic series. That result gave Peru its second appearance in a Davis World Group, the first in 2008.
At what time and where to watch Peru vs Bosnia for the Davis Cup 2021?
The games will be played on Friday, September 17, from 3:00 pm and Saturday, September 18, from 1:00 pm. It will be broadcast on Global TV.
‘Tupi’ Venero practically chose the ism quintet that faced the Helvetians: Juan Pablo Varillas (122 °), Sergio Galdos (154 ° in doubles), Nicolás Álvarez (372 °), Brian Panta (568 °) and Conner Huertas del Pino (701 °). Without a doubt, the main card of the national team will be ‘Juampi’, which this week reached its best position in the ranking, 122 of the ATP.
Two singles matches will be played on Friday and on Saturday it will be the turn of the doubles players. In case, Peru manages to beat Bosnia and Herzegovina, it will have to go to a playoff bracket in November to access the next stage of the contest. This is due to the low ranking of the national team (position 39).
For its part, Bosnia and Herzegovina, ranked 29th in the ranking, has beaten South Africa 3-1 and its main player is Damir Dzumhur (126th). It also has doubles players Mirza Basic (269 °) and Tomislac Brkic (52 ° in doubles) and Nerman Fatic (321 °). The Europeans are captained by Zrnic Zoran.
It should be noted that Peru has never faced Bosnia, and although the Balkans have a better ranking, the national team will be at home and with the support of its people (about 20% of the capacity will be allowed). Likewise, the bicolor squad will try to extend their unbeaten Davis Cup to three years.
